Support our health and education programs in rural Ghana.

GHEI is a non-profit village-based organization, funded solely through grants and generous donations from individuals who believe in our work. With your donation, GHEI can continue to provide high quality programs in Humjibre. Because GHEI has no salaried staff outside of Ghana, 98% of GHEI's donations go directly to health and education program work in Ghana. Your donation makes a tremendous impact!

A donation of $25 enables GHEI to deliver mosquito nets with one-on-one education and follow-up visits for a family.

$50 enables GHEI to purchase 10 books about Africa by African authors for the Humjibre community library.

$200 enables GHEI to host a community wide event on handwashing or HIV prevention.

$900 enables a Ghanaian teenager to attend all four years of high school.

How your donations make an enormous difference.

Small amounts of money have tremendous power in Ghana! Read about some of the successes we've had putting your money to work for our community.
